Rosalie was stunned at first upon seeing Estie's reaction, then her heart suddenly ached. She squatted down almost instinctively and swept the little girl into her arms, patting her on the back soothingly.Estie clutched the hem of Rosalie’s clothes with both hands, sobbing pitifully.Seeing this scene, Byron's eyes flashed with helplessness again.He had also tried to hug her at home just now, but she avoided him without saying a word.When she faced Rosalie, she reached out for a hug instead.Could he say that children instinctively relied on their mothers?"Don’t cry. Tell me what's wrong?" Rosalie coaxed the little girl distressedly.Estie naturally would not speak.In the end, Byron cleared his throat and said casually, "I went to the kindergarten today. Estie didn't see your two sons and thought they weren't attending kindergarten anymore, so she went home and cried for a long time. She said that she had to confirm it herself."Hearing this, Rosalie sighed in her heart. T
Byron stood at the door of the dining room and watched the scene unfurl. When he finally saw the little girl smile, he had mixed emotions in his eyes.Unexpectedly, after coaxing her for so long, he could not compare to what Rosalie and the boys.Not only did Estie stop crying, but she also laughed.A smile soon spread across her face as the two boys joked with her. When Byron saw that, he felt that it was time to take Estie back.They came here because Estie wanted to see the boys for herself. Now that she had confirmed what she wanted to, it was time to go back.As soon as he walked to Estie's side, he heard the little girl's stomach growl.Rosalie frowned slightly. "Haven’t you had dinner yet?"Estie pursed her lips and nodded.Seeing this, Rosalie turned her head to give Byron a reproachful look.Byron looked at her impassively and said, "I persuaded her, but she made a fuss all night long and even locked herself in her room. She refused to eat or drink. Only when I promis
In the past, the two of them only had meals with Mommy. Occasionally, Godmother would join them for dinner.This was the first time they were eating with Daddy.For a moment, Lucian and Nox were in different moods.Byron stopped in his step and turned back to glance at Estie, whose eyes were welling up. He saw that the table and cutlery had been placed on the seat next to the four of them, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.Logically speaking, the four of them were indeed a family.However, when he joined them, he seemed a little out of place.As Byron was thinking about this, he moved automatically. When he realized it, he had already sat down at the dining table.He did not know if the originally harmonious atmosphere became a little awkward because of him.Lucian and Nox fell silent and only lowered their heads to eat what was on their plates.Without the brothers talking to her, Estie could not eat anymore. She just held up her fork and nibbled on it."Is there s
Soon, Rosalie returned with the first aid kit and carefully treated Estie’s wounds.Estie was very well-behaved the whole time. She only flinched slightly when it hurt before quickly stretching her hand back out.The sight made Rosalie’s heart soften immensely.After treating the wounds, Rosalie sat down directly beside Estie.Lucian mindfully gave up his seat and carried his bowl with him to sit next to Byron."Is it alright if I feed you?" Rosalie asked for Estie's opinion.Naturally, Estie did not refuse and nodded her head in anticipation. With a smile, Rosalie picked up her bowl and fed the little girl.With the beautiful lady feeding her, Estie’s appetite rapidly improved. She stared at the beautiful lady's face eagerly, and no matter what she was fed with, she accepted it all with her mouth wide open.Seeing the little girl eating so well, Rosalie's smile widened.Byron sat on the other side, observing the interaction between the two.Every time there was some food o
Seeing Daddy eat the food from his brother, Nox's eyes lit up. He tentatively gave Daddy a spoonful of food too.He did not think too much about it. He just scooped some food from the plate in front of him, then stared at the older man expectantly.Byron noticed that the other little boy was getting some food and thought the boy was going to make him suffer too, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw that the boy had just grabbed some food from a random dish nearby. After coming back to his senses, he smiled at the boy. "Thank you. You should eat some more too."After saying that, he also served some food to the boy.He still remembered the dishes that the little boy had previously mentioned he did not like eating and deliberately avoided them.Nox's eyes widened in surprise. "Thank you, Mr. Byron! I will!"Daddy actually served some food to him!Observing the interaction between the two, Lucian pouted in disdain.Nox, this idiot! How could he not see through such an obvio
The three little ones shared a look, dropped the Lego blocks in their hands, and ran toward the kitchen.“What happened, Mommy?” Lucian and Nox looked worriedly at their mother.Rosalie snapped back to her senses and felt even uneasier as she looked at the two little fellas before her. She lowered her gaze as she barely suppressed the emotions in her heart. She smiled and shook her head at them. “Nothing much. My hand slipped and I broke a bowl. Don’t come in, okay? There are pieces of broken glass everywhere.”When she was done, she nonchalantly squatted down to clean up the mess. The storm in her heart was still raging, causing her to zone out while she was picking up glass pieces.Byron stood behind the three little ones. As he looked at the woman who was hunched on the floor, his eyes darkened.He was not sure if he read her correctly, but he felt that this woman had her mind occupied.Rosalie lowered her head as she felt the man's gaze fall heavily on her, making her feel li
As soon as they were in the living room, Rosalie was pinned onto the couch.The three little ones stuck closely to her like three little tails as they looked worriedly at her handkerchief-wrapped finger.Byron, on the other hand, was scouring the living room for a first aid kit.Alas, Lucian got off the couch and took the first aid kit out from below the TV cabinet. He passed it to him.Byron caressed Lucian’s head, took the first aid kit, and stood beside Rosalie.The little ones scampered away, giving him space.Byron sat down with an aloof expression. His icy aura caused the atmospheric pressure around him to have a major dip, but his actions were gentle.Rosalie lowered her gaze to watch him for a while before she could not help but avert it in feign calmness to look at the floor.If she were to continue watching him, she was afraid that she might cause some unwanted misunderstanding.This man. All he had for her was supposed to only be pure hatred, so why was he so caring
Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lisa say yes so quickly.She had thought about looking for a nanny for the kids, but she did not expect to meet a suitable one so easily. “Just come by tomorrow morning, then! I’ll get the agreement ready, and you can take a look tomorrow. If you’re okay with what’s written, you can sign it.” After a simple discussion about the pay with Rosalie suggesting and Lisa agreeing to it, Lisa left with her tools after bidding the rest goodbye.Only a few of them were left in the living room.After speaking with Lisa, Rosalie’s heart was at peace once more. When she was in front of Byron, the sense of detachment resumed. “Sorry to trouble you tonight, from the dressing of my wound and helping me find a domestic helper. I owe you one.”Byron looked at how aloof she was being, and a tinge of odd emotion flashed through his eyes. He quickly suppressed it and replied nonchalantly. “No need. If you really wanna keep count, it was Estie and me
